Visit the National College Fairs in Michigan
Each year, Michigan Association of College Admissions Counselors (MACAC) hosts two National College Fairs in Michigan.
The West Michigan Fair in Grand Rapids April 15th
Metro Detroit Fair in Livonia April 17th.
Each fair hosts over 120 colleges (including nearly every college in Michigan) and offers parents and students the chance to talk with admissions representatives about their colleges. In addition, free counseling is available for students and parents, as are information sessions on how to choose a college, financial aid, and more.
These fairs tend to draw more colleges (especially out-of-state colleges) than the college fairs hosted in high schools, and they give juniors and their families the “heads-up” they need in the spring to be ready for senior year with applications to colleges that best fit their needs. We host the Michigan fairs in April as a follow up to MME—now that the students have taken the test, they need to see what colleges will best meet their goals and needs.
Principals, please announce this information and support your students with a visit to the National College Fair in your area.
